07/11/2019 12:01 AMFor the second consecutive year, five Haddam-Killingworth High School seniors have been named recipients of Killingworth Ambulance Association (KAA) scholarships.
Emily Jennings, Kyra Figuerelli, Brianna Livingston, Brianna Shipman and Mikayla Nuhn were honored May 28 at Haddam-Killingworth High’s 2019 senior awards night, with all but Livingston present for the awards and all but Shipman planning to pursue careers in nursing.
The KAA annually grants scholarships to high-school seniors who reside in Killingworth; have been accepted to a two- or four-year colleges; plan to major in the medical, emergency services, or allied fields; and have GPAs of 3.0 or better.
A member of the Haddam-Killingworth volleyball team, Jennings will attend Rivier University where she intends to pursue a bachelor’s of nursing degree.
A USA Junior Olympic gymnast the past 12 years, Figuerelli is a prospective nursing student who plans to attend SUNY College at Brockport.
Among Livingston’s 200-plus hours of community service was an internship the past year at the Westbrook ER. That experience convinced her to pursue pediatric nursing at Mt. St. Joseph.
The daughter of a volunteer firefighter and EMT, Brianna Shipman has been associated with the Killingworth Volunteer Fire Company the last four years. She spent more than 300 hours volunteering at the fire company and will study at the University of New Haven where she will major in paramedicine.
Nuhn also accumulated more than 300 hours of community service and plans to major in nursing at Endicott College and hopes one day to work with children.
A sixth winner, Grace Murphy, received a scholarship later at a Mercy High School awards night. Murphy completed more than 200 hours of community service, including mission trips with Mercy and St. Peter’s Church.
